Description

• We’re back to talk about Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods because Read Riordan had a little teaser about what the chickens will get up to in this story.
• Rick also wrote a blog on February 24 that gave us some information about the UK and international additions, as well as signed copies.
• We’ve heard variations of his answer before, but we discuss the latest bit of information regarding whether there will be more Percy Jackson books after Chalice of the Gods.
• If you love Magnus Chase and Alex Fierro, then Read Riordan has the article for you!
• Karen wrote a book review for The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi, so be sure to check that out.
• And don’t forget that Lucha of the Night Forest by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Into the Light by Mark Oshiro both come out soon!

• Now that we’ve finished all five books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, we’re doing a bit of a retrospective to see how we feel about them overall.
• Even though we all remember what happens in The Lightning Thief, we revisit it for reasons.
• This book is so good at introducing us to this world and the characters that occupy it.
• Can you imagine if someone was like nah, we don’t need anymore books about Percy Jackson?
• These kids were SO YOUNG, and things just keep getting darker as they grow up.
• Moving on to Sea of Monsters, it’s apparent that this book laid a lot of groundwork for character development.
• It was nice to see more Clarisse, but this book also brought us Tyson!!!
• He’s so genuine and loveable. He was really the perfect character to teach Percy and Annabeth a valuable lesson.
• As we start talking about Titan’s Curse, we confess which books are our least favorites (but we swear we still love them!).
• Annabeth is gone for SO LONG in this book.
• The Hunters of Artemis are so iconic, and it’s pretty cool to meet and get to know Artemis better.
• On a scale from approachable to aloof, where do all of the gods land?
• We get to say hello to Nico, but we also have to say goodbye to Bianca.
• 
  Battle of the Labyrinth is such a dense book because there’s so much going on.
• We also have to balance a lot of characters in this book, both new and old.
• Nico has a lot of feelings, and we can’t say we blame him.
• The Labyrinth is a character in and of itself.
• That battle at Camp Half-Blood was a lot more significant than we first realized.
• Now we’re onto the The Last Olympian
• There’s a lot of Backstory! in this book.
• We kind of love that the Battle of Manhattan takes up so much room.
• That final confrontation is iconic, and so is Percy’s decision to turn down immortality.
• Btw, Percabeth is a go.
• All right, what’s our favorite book, and why?
• It’s difficult choosing a favorite character, but we’ve got some pretty solid options.
• There are so many iconic moments from the books, and we can’t wait to see them in the show.
• We should’ve totally planned to pick out our favorite creatures/monsters, too.
• We have a lot of favorite quotes to choose from, and it was tough to decide.
• This time, we stayed away from Percabeth quotes when we could, since we just talked about them in the last episode.
• This is yet another reminder that Rick is SO good at first lines.
• Now that we’ve really dissected these books, did we have any changes of heart? Did anything surprise us?
• Lastly, what are we looking forward to seeing the most when we finally get to Heroes of Olympus?

• Nicolaas writes in to give us his answers to all our same questions.
• Karen’s in the hot seat…is she gonna be replaced!?
